Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash 2.5-3.5 pounds
- ¼ cup salted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy bits.
- Brush the inside of the squash with the melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon (or pie spice).
- Place the squash on a baking sheet, cut-side up, and bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork.
- Sprinkle with salt. Serve by slicing or mashing with butter.
Notes
- If the squash is too hard to cut, you can microwave it for a few minutes first.
- If the squash is larger, you may need to bake it for a little longer.
- For extra flavor and crunch, top the squash with chopped pecans or walnuts during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- If you're short on time, microwave the squash for a few minutes before baking to reduce the cooking time.
- Store leftover butternut squash in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
